These days some companies made an announcement that they would change their company official langage from Japanese to English.

And just the other day, a very famous drug company announced that they would recruit people based on TOEIC test socore.(at least 730 points/990).

Of course, the applicant needs other knowledge or skill.
For instance, about molecular biology, pharmacology, synthesizing organic chemicals, and so on.

But most Japanese students at the unversity aren't good at English.
In my med school, teachers use only Japanese at every lecture.
It is true that every student is Japanese.

However, many teachers tell us that
"you need study English hard.
Without English, you cann't communicate with foreign people.
And to get new information you need, you must read papers in journals written in English.
In any case, you must study English if you don't go abroad."

I think some of them should teache us the medicine in English.
